electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured. Please read
the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help with all electronic
consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.

to dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.

with wood screws. To ensure complete safety,
always fit the manufacturers’ approved stand,

than sorry.
Leave more than 10cm clearance around the
television to allow adequate ventilation. This will

ures or humidity. Place in a

The mains supply required for this equipment is
220-240v AC 50/60Hz. Never connect to a DC
supply or any other power source. DO ensure that
the television is not standing on the mains lead. DO
NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment,
this incorporates a special Radio Interference Filter,
the removal of which will impair its performance.
In the UK, the fuse fitted in the plug is approved by

by a correctly rated and approved type and the fuse
cover must be refitted.
